I have heard that Harry "Jack" Reynolds of early 70's bands Silver Metre and Ashman Reynolds has passed away.
Silver Metre were a one shot band that also had Leigh Stevens of Blue Cheer fame and Pete Sears later of Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna in their ranks. They released one lone album in 1970 and must have been big fans of Elton John as they covered two of his songs on there. Its cool if you are into hard rock of the period and I think they were quite underrated. R.I.P.
